Atrocities in Bucha and across Ukraine cannot be ignored. If this is the “justice” and “democracy” that authoritarians want, we have to clearly say no and stop them.

In Taiwan we were able to control the virus with careful contact tracing and strict quarantines. But no one is safe until everyone is safe. Let’s stay focused and get through this together as one human family.

Today I met the delegation led by Portuguese Congressman Hon. Paulo Rios de Oliveira, and had an interesting conversation. We can feel the support of Europe. I believe the world is waking up to the challenges posed by authoritarianism everywhere.

The death of John Cheng and wounding of five others at the Irvine Taiwanese Presbyterian Church in California, saddens all Taiwanese today. We condemn the violence as we pray for the well-being of all survivors.

Today I met with Morris Chang, founder of TSMC, and Chris Miller, author of "Chip War". I firmly believe democracy is the air, sunlight, and water of the semiconductor industry. Without it the sector can’t thrive. It’s in the world’s interest to protect it from being attacked.

Half of the players in Taiwan's major league baseball are indigenous. As a big fan I love seeing how they proudly reclaim their indigenous names, which were once forbidden. Indigenous peoples are present in every layer of Taiwanese society. Today we celebrate Indigenous Day.

Economy and security are inseparable. Taiwan's hi-tech industries led by semiconductors companies are our pride. We will assist companies to develop domestically and connect them with the world. Taiwan can help create more resilient and transparent supply chains.

President Lee Teng-hui's body was cremated today. I feel I lost someone I could count on, like losing a father. But people die, we have to say goodbye. He led a bloodless revolution. He showed us how strong people can be as long as we are united. Taiwan will carry on his legacy.
